摘要

Rejection and colonization by microbes are two problematic issues that often require surgical removal of medical implants. The functionalization of Zn surfaces with ZnO-nanostructured ‘Anastacia’ flowers (NAF) can potentially overcome these important drawbacks further boosting the use of Zn in biomedical implants.
